Artisan Drop-In Single Side Burner ART-SB1 - 15,000 BTUs, Brass Burner, Stainless Steel

The ART-SB1 is Artisan's smallest side burner and the one that fits where the bigger units will not. It is a single brass burner rated at 15,000 BTUs that drops into an 11" by 15" countertop opening — a modest cut by outdoor-kitchen standards — and gives you a place to hold a sauce, warm a side or heat a medium pot without opening the grill lid to make room. A hinged stainless steel cover folds down over the burner when it is idle, protecting it and returning the space to prep surface. Ignition is battery powered, so the island rough-in is a gas line only. It is made in the USA in stainless steel, weighs 18 lbs, and is ordered in either propane or natural gas. With the optional shelf mount accessory, the same burner can be fitted to an Artisan freestanding cart grill instead of an island.

Key Features

• Single brass burner, 15,000 BTUs — enough for sauces, sides and a medium pot alongside the grill.
• Brass burner construction — tolerates repeated heat cycling and stays dimensionally stable, so the flame pattern holds up over years of outdoor use.
• Hinged stainless steel cover — folds down over the burner when idle, protecting it and doubling as prep surface.
• Battery-powered ignition — no 110v connection needed at the burner location.
• Compact 11" x 15" cutout — fits into island runs that cannot accommodate a double side burner or a power burner.
• Simple drop-in installation — the burner sits into the countertop opening and the flange carries the weight.
• Cart-mount option — with the optional side shelf accessory it can be used with an Artisan freestanding grill.
• Made in the USA — stainless steel construction, 18 lbs.

Care & Use Manual ART-SB1 Side Burner

Model and Installation Information

The model number is ART-SB1. Installed as a built-in, it needs a countertop opening 11" wide by 15" deep, with the burner itself measuring 12 3/8" wide by 16 1/8" deep by 4 11/16" high so the flange overlaps and carries the weight. Confirm those cutout figures against the spec sheet and check that the opening is square before the island is built, or before an existing opening is cut or modified. At 18 lbs one person can set it into the opening without help.

Ignition is battery powered, so no electrical supply is required at the burner — the rough-in is gas only.

Natural gas and propane are separate ordered configurations, not a field conversion: ART-SB1-NG for natural gas, ART-SB1-LP for propane. Match the SKU to the supply feeding the island.

If you are not building an island at all, the optional side shelf accessory mounts this burner to an Artisan freestanding cart grill — that part is the Artisan Single Side Burner Shelf Mount for Cart Model Only ARTC-SBM-01, sold separately.

Who This Model Is Best For

Choose the ART-SB1 when island width is the constraint. One 15,000 BTU brass burner in an 11" by 15" opening is the least real estate a real side burner can take, which makes it the burner for a compact island run, a corner beside the grill head, or a counter section already committed to storage and doors. It is also the only Artisan side burner in this group that can move onto a freestanding cart, via the ARTC-SBM-01 shelf mount. If you routinely run two pots at once, or you boil large volumes, the double side burner or the power burner are the models sized for that — this one is deliberately the small, single-purpose option.
